Technical Brand Operations Service Provider for Local Delivery Platforms

📌 Background

In 2026, the scale of China's instant delivery market continues to expand. SF Intra-city, a leading third-party instant delivery enterprise, has achieved high revenue growth and doubled its net profit, validating the commercial viability of the third-party instant delivery model. Meanwhile, numerous small and medium-sized merchants and regional delivery companies are in urgent need of building their own branded delivery systems, but lack the necessary technical and operational capabilities, creating a demand for platform development and managed services.

👤 Target Customers

Chain restaurant brands, regional supermarkets, new retail enterprises, and local lifestyle platforms looking to establish their own delivery systems.

💰 Revenue Streams

1) Annual platform development and technical service fees (approx. 100,000-500,000 RMB); 2) Operational service fees of 0.3-1 RMB per order; 3) Value-added consulting services such as delivery team training and capacity optimization.

🧮 Cost Structure

Salaries for technical R&D personnel, server and logistics API integration costs, sales and marketing team expenses, and costs for customer success and after-sales support.

🛡️ Moat

Deep understanding of the instant delivery industry, including dispatch algorithms, capacity management, and cost modeling, which can be distilled into standardized products and SOPs.

🔑 Keys to Success

• Accumulate industry benchmark cases to generate word-of-mouth
• Continuously iterate on dispatch algorithms and data analysis capabilities
• Build a multi-capacity channel integration network to lower entry barriers
• Provide flexible installment payment or performance-based pricing plans to lower the threshold for customer decision-making

⚠️ Risks

• Rapid technological iteration requiring continuous R&D investment
